Chapter 442 Another Trouble
It was already 1:30 in the morning when Qi Xu and Lin Youqian returned home.
A warm and romantic camping trip was ruined by some messy things.
The couple was exhausted after a whole day of hard work and had to deal with a marital farce while trying to sleep. Now they just fell asleep as soon as they hit the bed, not even bothering to change their clothes.
Especially Qi Xu, who was still trapped in Lin Youqian's pajamas until she woke up the next day. The two of them were like a conjoined doll, tightly entangled together.
The horn sounded outside the playground. Lin Youqian really didn't want to get up, but there was too much work to do and he couldn't afford to be lazy.
"Honey, I'm going to work. You should sleep a little longer. I'll ask Xiao Ning to bring breakfast to you later."
Qi Xu poked a small head out from his collar and opened his eyes hazily.
"Honey, I need to get up. My parents are coming to South City today, and I need to get ready to greet them."
Lin Youqian undressed her, let her out, and kissed her forehead.
"Idiot! Gu Yan said Dad won't be at the hospital until 10:30, why are you in such a hurry?"
"I want to see them sooner!"
Qi Xu, eager to find her relatives, quickly got out of bed, washed, and dressed. She couldn't sleep even if she arrived at 10:30 in the morning or 12 o'clock at night.
My mind was full of thoughts of what it would be like to see my parents again, what I should say to my father, how I should pretend to be a stranger and quietly walk past my mother without crying, speaking, or greeting her.
"Youqian, can you go to the hospital with me today?"
It’s not that Lin Youqian is unwilling, but his time is too precious and his work is too busy, so he simply cannot spare the time.
There are three meetings alone, and there are many documents to be approved, inspection items to be checked, and personnel deployment for major military exercises to be arranged. Even if it is divided into three, it is not enough.
"Qiqi, I just took office and have been very busy recently. I'll make time to visit my parents in the hospital tonight, okay?"
Qi Xu understood him. As the head of the military region, it was rare for him to spend so much time on him these days.
"Hubby, it's okay. The relationship between our family and my dad is very sensitive right now, so it's better for you to avoid suspicion."
"Go to work quickly, we'll see you tonight!"
"See you tonight!" Lin Youqian kissed her lips gently, as a daily good morning kiss, and then hurried downstairs.
Qi Xu also changed into a white coat in advance, put on a mask and medical cap, and went out early.
Even if she had to go to the hospital and wait, she would feel at ease.
Unexpectedly, just as they arrived at the hospital, they encountered another farce. Shockingly, the troublemaker was Qin Shishi, who was beaten into a pig's head last night.
After a night of fermentation, the wounds on her face had turned black, blue, red and purple, and she was so swollen that she couldn't even open her eyes. She looked like a greasy spotted pig, an image that was really unbearable to the eyes.
If it weren't for the eye-catching red dress she was wearing, Qi Xu would not have recognized her at all.
However, at this moment, the plot twists, and now she has turned from a victim to a perpetrator.
Even the posture of violence was exactly the same as last night. She opened her legs, sat on the victim, and held him down tightly without letting go.
"Shishi, what are you doing?"
Qin Shishi looked up at the fully armed doctor in front of her, having no idea who she was.
"Hello, who are you? Do you know me?"
"I'm your cousin's wife. Do you think I know you?"
When she heard the word "cousin-in-law", Qin Shishi immediately climbed up from others and greeted Qi Xu respectfully, as obedient as a primary school student meeting her class teacher.
"Hello, sister-in-law!"
Ever since Lin Youqian and Qi Xu publicly held their wedding, all their relatives knew about it. Now, this young woman had the final say in all matters of the Lin family, big or small.
Even Yoga Lin listens to her at home.
Therefore, Qin Shishi was more frightened when she saw her than when she saw her cousin. Her mother had warned her long ago that this cousin's wife was a very powerful person and she must not offend her.
"What's wrong with you? Why aren't you resting in the hospital while you're recovering?"
Qin Shishi lowered her head and didn't dare to speak.
A male voice came from the ground, pitiful and miserable.
"Sister-in-law, please, save me! This crazy woman is going to tear me apart!"
It wasn't until the man got up that Qi Xu could see clearly. "Isn't this the guard captain from last night, Ma Tao?"
"Captain Ma, how did you become like this?"
His face was not bruised, but Qin Shishi had scratched it like a harlequin cat.
"Sister-in-law, I have never seen such a fierce, unreasonable, and ungrateful woman!"
"I sent her to the hospital with good intentions, but she ended up blaming me, asking me to be her boyfriend and forcing me to take responsibility for her. Then she beat me up and left me like this?"
"How could there be such a rude woman in this world? I'm so unlucky to have run into one."
"If it weren't for the fact that she's the Lin family's cousin, I'd want to punch her to death."
Qi Xu didn't know how Ma Tao had offended Qin Shishi to the point of riding on her, beating her up, and even demanding her to marry him.
Is he attracted to her, or does he want to kill her?
"Shishi, what's going on? Why did you hit Captain Ma?"
Qin Shishi pouted, her face full of resentment.
"It's all his fault. He watched me get beaten last night and didn't help. If he had been even a little bit kind-hearted and willing to lend a hand, I wouldn't have been beaten like this. Look, sister-in-law, I'm almost disfigured."
Qi Xu saw that her face was indeed swollen, but there was no external injury, so she was not disfigured. However, it would take at least ten days or half a month for her face to return to its original appearance.
Although Qin Shishi is a relative, Qi Xu is not an unreasonable person. How can he blame Ma Tao for such a thing?
"Shishi, you're stretching this a bit. If you want to settle the score, why don't you find Zheng Zihao and Xiao Shuangshuang? What's the point of bullying Ma Tao?"
Ma Tao felt that what Xiao Pao's wife said was absolutely right. If she hadn't been so arrogant last night, insisting on doing it herself and making a fuss about setting up the tent, how could this unprovoked disaster have happened?
"That's right, I'm so wronged! This woman is completely unreasonable!"
After hearing this, Qin Shishi's temper exploded again.
"You're still complaining? You took advantage of me and yet you don't want to take responsibility. How dare you complain? I'm going to kill you!"
"Hey, wait, wait! Stop!"
Qi Xu opened her arms like a little hen, standing between the two of them to prevent them from having another physical conflict.
"If there's anything, let's talk it out and resolve it in a civilized manner, okay?"
Ma Tao hid behind Qi Xu and pointed at Qin Shishi.
"Sister-in-law, do you think she looks like a reasonable person? She looks more like a shrew."
"I'm a shrew?" Qin Shishi's defense was completely broken.
"I am a shrew because of you, a bastard."
Qi Xu raised his voice and stood in the middle like a judge, mediating the conflict between the two of them.
"Shut up! Neither of you is allowed to speak. I'll ask you questions and you take turns answering!"
